Fifth Wrist Radio

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. Join us, as hosts Adam (@mediumwatch) and Roman (@TimesRomanAU) for a  chat with Jérémy Freléchox, Co-Founder @Vanguartwatches and timeforge.ch Jérémy is an incredible watchmaker and watch movement designer, who shares his deep knowledge of mechanics and passion for unique horological complications. With his watch company @Vanguartwatches⁠, Jeremy makes perhaps the most interesting tourbillon wristwatch on the market (BlackHole Tourbillon), capable not only of displaying time in a unique way, but also giving the owner the option of making the time run forwards or backwards! (That’s correct - insanely cool). With his other company (timeforge.ch), Jeremy is a consultant in watch movement design and mechanical optimisation, helping other watchmaking companies design, optimise and improve their mechanism. Join us for a wide-ranging conversation, which encompasses everything from Jeremy’s early days working at AP Renaud i Papi, horological gearing standards; tourbillons; Guilloche and astronomical complications. We also talk about the Open Movement project Jeremy has been involved with; as well as the mechanical genius of Dr Ludwig Oeschlin. Honestly - this episode is a banger!   We hope you enjoy this fun and a fascinating discussion.

Another episode of the Independent Thinking Show for @FifthWrist Radio. This is a place dedicate to showcasing the great people doing interesting and cool things in the world of horology. In this episode, we are very honoured to speak with Michael Culyba , director of the excellent film "Keeper of Time". Adam (@mediumwatch) and Michael sit down for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion about the major themes of the movie, the meaning of time itself and  the many aspects of independent horological craft that Michael managed to capture so brilliantly in the film. We at FifthWrist have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to speak with some of the watch industry folks who appear in the movie, so now would be a good time to listen through our back catalog and re-acquaint yourself with the previous episodes. Definitely make sure you watch the "Keeper of Time"  (www.keeperoftimemovie.com) today. Honestly, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Absolutely brilliant, heart-warming and important film about horology and time.
